Description

with Kevin Pigott,Fordham Preparatory School (NY) Head Boys Basketball Coach

The mystery of the Princeton Offense is unveiled in this masterful DVD! As Coach Kevin Pigott was learning this offense, he was able to tap directly into the mind of "the master," Pete Carrill, to get a first hand overview of the offense. As a high school coach with limited time, Pigott shows how he has shaped this effective offense to fit his program. The star of the offense is the "back door cut," which Princeton has used for years to slay bigger opponents. Pigott shares the key drills that his team works on, every day, to perfect the offense and also teaches concepts such as the dribble handoff, fake handoff, weak side exchange, freeze dribble, butt screens, pick and roll and many more. How to execute the offense using the Point to Wing Series, the High Post Scissors, the Chin Series and the UCLA Series are all demonstrated and dissected. Each series contains a number of options to maximize versatility, including combo plays such as Chin Series to UCLA Series. Pigott also shows how the Princeton Offense can be run against zone defense and used with out of bounds plays. Never again will the Princeton Offense be seen as an intricate system! This DVD shows how to incorporate the game's finest fundamentals into an exciting, potent offense. Piece by piece you will see why this offense has struck panic into teams for years.

Not exactly traditional Princeton offense, probably the reason you would purchase this DVD. While Pigotts system does have sound principles and can be adapted as Princeton-type rules for your own motion offense it is generally not what you have seen Ivy League teams run in season. The exception is the Chin series, which can be used as a solid continutity, other then that the DVD is motion concepts that can be used for Princeton or any other type of offense. Overall its solid information, just might not be what your looking for.

This tape is long and detailed.
Coach Pigot shows many different options starting from the basic Princeton positions.
I really liked the idea to go through the complete offensive opportunities given by this system (high post, low post, vs. zones, out of bounds).
My only reason to not give it a 5-star review is that I would have liked more drills to build the offens in it. But this is a very good tape overall.

Thid DVD is definitely the best of the Princeton Offense products. Coach Piggot shows the nuts and bolts of the Princeton style of play so you can lift the options you want to implement without getting dragged down by philosophy. If you want the fastest approach to the Princeton style, this is easily the way to go.
